Intuition
Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
What does balance look like for me? Who can I become rejecting the pressure to be someone else?

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:
Why is the expression of kindness to strangers not a cultural norm everywhere?

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
I got to hike up Ambuluwawa, wow! It was challenging with heat and a very steep gradient, however, I decided to reject all the rides I got very kindly offered and stick to my initial plan of going all the way up by just walking. It felt so rewarding running down the hills after!

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
For a couple of days, I was living in an extremely remote area by myself. It was an extremely beautiful place, but the social isolation became rough to experience while my health was also not at its best so I couldn't find as much joy and enjoyment as I expected from myself.

Courage
Aligning action
Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

I originally assumed:
I used to think that feeling prepared is a crucial factor to feel confident and safe in new situations. Almost as if I should stop myself doing new things before I know I have thought everything through.
October 3, 2025
These assumptions are changing:
Feeling prepared is just an illusion. It's impossible to predict all the possible outcomes, especially in unknown situations and places. And that's why courage to go for it even with a bit of fear is the key to discovering myself and the world instead of looking for excuses.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
I challenged myself to only eat in local places and never repeat the same place to try new experiences. Most of the time I was the only tourist, the only female alone and many times even completely alone eating out in a restaurant, but it was amazing to connect with the owners!

Compassion
Engaged Empathy
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
Building the trust within myself first. I often find myself thinking that the fear of opening up isn't about not trusting people around me, but rather myself.

Thank you for our call! It made me so alive to have such an enriching discussion with you from philisophical pondering about the gloablisation and politics to getting to know your a bit about your daily life and aspirations <3

Ruan Vitor Cordeiro da Silva
Thank you so much for noticing during our coaching sessions that I was a little bit distant. I was having a tough week because of my work, and it made me so happy to see that someone noticed and worried about me (I already said this to you, but I love to appreciate people so!) <3

I appreciate your presence and I'll look forward to our next call, and this growing connection. I feel this deeper sense of connection to you: perhaps because you remind me of one my friends, our similar background or just in the way you show up in our friday sessions. Tänan teid

Experiencing third class train rides

I have fallen in love with taking trains in Sri Lanka. Interestingly, I find myself developing silent connections with strangers on the train after many long hours of coexisting. From a man who was drying the train floor after it had rained so I will be more comfortable sitting on it while watching a beautiful sunset and my hair flowing with the wind to the two little girls who couldn't stop smiling after I offered them my backpack to sit on– thank you for making my day!
